There's foul play on the Herts-Beds border and you have been called in to investigate the suspected murder of Dr Black, owner of Tudor Mansion. It's only suspected because we cannot find the body! Dr Black invited six guests for the weekend and some time very early on Sunday morning the host disappeared. His guests all fled the house; each with a guilty conscience ... but only one was responsible for Dr Black's disappearance.
You are Inspector Cluedo and your challenge is to solve the crime and find the body. Each of the suspects has hidden their potentially incriminating evidence in a cache on familiar ground where they feel safe. Visit each cache and inspect the evidence you find. There will be three cards in each to enable you to eliminate suspects, weapons or locations from your enquiries.
After you have found the following caches, proceed to the final stage clues below. A set of Detective Notes are attached to this cache listing to enable you to track the progress of investigations as you eliminate suspects, weapons and rooms.
Miss Scarlett
Colonel Mustard
Mrs Peacock
Reverend Green
Mrs White
Professor Plum
The three cards that have not been eliminated after visiting all six caches represent the solution to the crime: the murderer, the weapon and the location.
For each card there is given below a set of numbers matched to letters. Match the solution to find the correct digit for each letter and then solve the final puzzle to obtain the coordinates of Dr Black’s body.
